Apparently most of you cannot.

If you want strictly news, tune in after FNF and before Beck. (I think the times are 9-5 EST.)
Fox News needs apologetics to defend it! Go figure!

That's your opinion. We will obviously not see eye to eye on this but at least I'm not posting lies about MM. That's the difference, a very important one, I might add.

I don't know what the apologetics comment has to do with anything.

Funny how nobody can refute what I've said. Just goes to show that liberals post lies and then run away as fast as possible so they don't have to face the facts when someone calls them out. Or they resort to name-calling or attacking a tiny part of the argument that is tangential to the actual debate.

The reason FNC has enemies is because there are people in this country who are afraid of having an open dialogue. Recently there are some in government elected positions that have called for the complete and total shut down of FNC. That tells me they are scared ****less when a news medium calls out the crooks in the government and thier policies. Furthermore, the very people sworn to uphold the Constitution are becomming the very ones who are trying to subvert it.

If FNC was so bad, no one would tune in. It is a two way relationship that involves a remote. Don't like the news from FNC, change the channel, but don't pretend that other "mainstream" media hasn't lied on their news reports. I could cite NBC, ABC and CBS. Dateline sold lies, Dan Rather reported lies about GWB and ABC was involved with misreporting on war matters. They are all playing the same game! Wake up and take it for what it is, propaganda. The left thinks they own the high moral ground here because they look down their noses upon the regular working class American and the right knows the left are elitist and seek the truth from anywhere they can that doesn't involve the lies of the MSM

CBS IS BRAZENLY SELLING FALSE NEWS STORIES TO LOCAL NETWORKS: THESE STORIES ARE SHOT ON CAMERA, WRITTEN ACCORDING TO A SCRIPT, BUT PASS OFF ON T.V. NEWS AS REAL STORIES!

Finally, remember that all the major news networks -- including Fox and Jerusalem Post -- are owned by Illuminist sources. You may find many fine articles and much truth, but you must be exceedingly aware of the probability of disinformation being fed to the public. This is why you must check out news stories with non-establishment sources who are not owned lock, stock, and barrel by the Illuminati.
A good disinformation specialist will give out 80-90% good, reliable information just so he can mislead you at the most critical time. Now more than ever before, you need to orient your thinking as we recommend in our report, "Learning How To Think Outside The Propaganda Box: Learning To Think In The Opposite Direction To Find The Truth" - NEWS1558.

The one comment I can offer about FNC is that they bring in more people from the opposite side of their "viewpoint" and present fair and balanced debates that involve people from both sides of an argument almost on a nightly basis. This is why Juan Williams was fired from PBS. I don't see much non bias reporting in the "mainstream" media. The MSM has their agenda just has FNC has its agenda.

People have lost confidence in the old style media like ABC, NBC, and CBS because they have seen the incredible reports and the bias scripted there on the nightly news. Thus, the reason for the growth of the FNC.

It's funny, NYT is calling Jon Stewart a top news person while Stewart insists he is a Comedian. At the same time, FOX "news" is calling itself a news organization, while .........

It's not fair to compare either drunks or the disabled with anything on Fox.

The disabled were born that way and drunks are victims of an addiction, while those at Fox are just overpaid misinformers on a mainstream media propaganda outlet. They chose their own path.

You're forgetting that people sometimes are silly. Journalists are people. Thus, sometimes journalists are silly.

See, now, that wasn't so hard.

Did you notice that your link was from Media Matters? Do you know what the purpose of Media Matter is? Do you know who finances that place and who was responsible for its creation to get rid of Fox News, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh? Maybe you need to look into the situation and see just what is going on there.
